...Billions of dollars - and Iraq's future - are at stake. Virtually all the revenues Iraq has to rebuild its shattered economy will come from its mammoth energy deposits - some of the world's biggest untapped reserves - of about 115 billion barrels of oil and about 110 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. In addition, Iraq's major creditors have made clear they expect a working oil industry, as a precondition for forgiving billions of dollars in Iraqi debt incurred largely by Saddam Hussein's wars against Iran and Kuwait and by his mega-splurging at home...

The world feels mammoth and its geography runs the gamut from painted deserts and sprawling savannahs to snow-covered mountains and swamps teeming with gators and fish men. Despite its size, players easily navigate the world via roads, ships, zeppelins, giant bats and mythological creatures like hippogriffs. Players in Azeroth choose to be members of races like humans, orcs, trolls or night elves, and then pledge allegiance to one of two factions. But unlike in other fantasy games...
